-- WAIST WATCHING. Talk about a sweet tooth. Stromberg-Carlson Corp., the Lake Mary phone-equipment manufacturer, last week celebrated in high style the shipment of its 1,000th digital central office switch, the computerized equipment that routes telephone calls. Stromberg marked the occasion with a 5 1/2-foot-tall cake, shaped like one of the switches. The cake, half chocolate and half vanilla, was 8 feet wide. The ingredients: 120 boxes of cake mix, 24 cans of Crisco, 30 dozen eggs and 92 pounds of sugar. The cake fed more than 1,000 employees and cost more than $300 to make.
